A Common Mistake,

Why do so many intelligent persons stub
bornly refuse to take any kind Of medicine
for slight illness, when first taken sick, and
when the greatest benefit may be derived
from plain simple treatment. Nearly always
the first act of a physician when called, is to
prescribe remedies to move the bowels, to
regulate the liver, open the secretions and
aid nature. Why do not intelligent persons
take the same plain treatment in time them
selves, try it and take ST. Patrick's pills, they
are guaranteed to give satisfaction. They
act mildly without gripping or irritation, and
are thorough in their effect, they are per
feet physic for men, women or children. Sold

electrical Searches for Bullets.

When President Garfield was slowly dy-
ing at Elberon, and the attending sur
geons were locating tho fatal bullet in
spots clear away from where, after death,
it was discovered, an electrical apparatus
was constructed by Professor Graham
Bell for the purpose Of finding the bit Of
lead. The failure was ridiculed, much to
the chagrin of Bell and the doctors. The
discovery has since been made that Gar
field lay on a metallic mattress. which
frustrated the electricity. Now, under
the sanction of the New York academy Of
medicine, machine has been constructed
and tested. The machine consisted of a
battery, tolls and other familiar tele-
graphic devices, but principally Of thin
steel probe connected with the wires in q
manner invented by Bell. The surface Of
the patient over an imbedded bullet was
cocained, so as to deprive 1t of feeling.
Then the probe was thrust in. AS the end
Of the steel came within six inches Of the
bullet, the surgeon with his ear to a tele-
phonic cup heard a hu1nming sound,
which grew louder as the metal was ap-
preached. The flesh was jabbed num-
ber of times, and the trial was regarded
as O success. Later, q war veteran sub
mitted to O search for q bullet that had
entered his chest and remained somewhere
in him for twenty years. The needle
hummed its way to the lead 3 hiding place
and it was removed. DR.. John II. Gird-
ner, who operated the instrument, said
that it's use would have saved Garfield 8
life in all probability.-New York Sun.

Scott I'm tho nrcxIcnn iYnr.

His victories have never received the
credit justly due them on account Of the
apparent ease with which they were
gained. The student of military history
will rarely meet with accounts of battles

upon the eve of conflicts rs in the official
reports Of the wonderfully energetic and
successful cnmpaign in which Gen. Scott,
with o handful of men, renewed tho mem
ory of the conquest of Cortes, in his tri-
umphant march from Vera Cruz to the
capital. The plan OF the battle of Cerro
Gordo was SO fully carried out in action
that the official report is hardly moro than
the general orders translated from the
future tense to the past. The story of
Chapultepec has the same element of the
marvellous in it. The general commands
apparent impossibilitics in the closest de-
tail on one day, and the next day re-
ports that they have been accomplished.
These successes were not chcaply attained.
The McXicans, though deficient in science
and military intelligence, fought with
bravery antl sometimes with desperation.
The enormous percentage of loss in his
army proves that Scott was engaged in no
light work.-The Century.

Steam, as compared with water, occu-
pies 1,728 times as much space. A cubic
inch of water will make l, 728 cubic inches
of steam at atmospheric pressure. Now,
if this steam is compressed into half the
space it occupies at atmospheric pressure,
it will be double that pressure or fifteen
pounds above the atmosphere; it will then
occupy only 8G4 cubic inches. If reduced
again to half its volume, it will occupy
432 cubic inches, and will have thirty
pounds pressure. Reduced again to half
the volume, the steam will occupy PIG
cubic inches, and will have sixty pounds
pressure to the square inch. We can go
on reducing in this way until we find that
q cubic inch Of water turned into steam
and compressed into space Of three cubic
inches will have the enormous pressure Of
3,840 pounds to the square inch.-Boston

Theodore Tilton's Contented Life.

Theodore Tilton'S Contented Lie.
Y Mr.. Tilton is passing now, he tells his
friends, the most peaceful and c0ntented
years Of his life. It is three years since
he domiciled himself in Paris, and he will
probably end his days there. He has
door in grand old mansion, once the
home cf the Dues de Nemours, an ancient
building on the lie de Paris, back of Notre
Dame, in the very heart of historic asso-
Citations. Here he spends much Of his time,
writing, reading, living happily within
himself. For the rest, he is free to dine
wherever his vagrant fancy dictates, to
find companionship wherever he chooses.
Most often he islto be met late afternoons
at the Cafe Regence,I one Of the very few
Of the famous pre-reyolution resorts which
the Haussmannization of the right bank
of the Seine has left intact. Here for
century and mora have the best chess
players of Paris assembled. Alfred de
Musset was habitue, and many Of the
older men remember him well.
A far more distinguished frequenter Of
the Regence-whom few enough Of the
company can recall having seen even in
his later ife-was certain keen eyed,
aquiline nosed young lieutenant OF artil-
lery, Nj. Napoleon Bonnparte. A little
metal tablet IS set into the dark marble Of
one of the tables recording that here the
future emperor was wont to sit and school
his mind for Marcngo and Austerlitz in
the mazes Of chess. fancy that no dreams
sof fame or of especial achievement come
now to Mr.. Tilton. The work upon which
he is engaged is understood to be ephem-
eral in character-done as much for the
sake of occupation and mental relief US
anything else. His chief interest is to like
his life and t6 keep it smooth, uneyentful,
restful, within the compass Of simple de-
sires and pleasant associations.-New

couRTINe AMONG THE MExlcANs.
How the Mexican Romeo Woos His
Juliet-"Playing the Bear

Speaking Of the senoritas, notwithstand-
ing the fact that they are prone to flirt,
they are very circumspect as to some
things to which We Americans never give
q thought. For instance, Mexican ladies
seldom 90 out without some one of the
family or o servant. They do not have
gentlemen visitors. There is no chance
for gallant youth to burn the midnight
oil or gas at his prospective father-in-
laws expense. If young man has been
acquainted with girl from childhood, or
by some accident is allowed to visit tho
family and becomes q lover, he is imme-
diately forbidden the house and must
continue his courting as best he can. 1t
is then the balcony is of service. A signal
is agreed upon, and the senorita with ears
alert hears it and appears upon the bal-
cony and converses with her lover below
in the street. Notes are secretly ex-
changed, but never through the mail. 10
give you an idea of Mexican c0urtship
and how Cupid breaks down the barriers
made by ignorance and superstition, I
will explain what is here termed playing
the bear" This is a very popular game
at least it seems so-among the Mex
leans. It is played by two persons, q
lady and q gentleman. Both are usually
young, in their teens as it were, though
there are instances of the game being
played by couples who had passed that
period by several years.
A young man becomes smitten with q
fair charmer ut the opera or at church.
He follows the lady to her home. Having
that located he makes it his business to
be in that neighborhood as much as pos
sible. He will stroll by the house with
his eyes expressive Of the state Of his
heart, and If he should catch glimpse Of
his fair one he is happy. If he receives q
smile he becomes intoxicated with love
and is ready to play the "bear" for an in
definite period of time If the lady is
seated on the balcony when Romeo ar
rives upon the scene she usually with
draws, after exchanging glances with him.
This programme is kept up for months
At last he receives q smile from fair
Juliet From smiles they get to exchang-
ing q few words.
There have been actual cases where the
bear has froicked about for year or two
before the tickle maid would exchange O
word with him. Very often there are two
or three bears casting longing eyes in the
same direction. This frequently causes
bad blood. AS soon as the couple begin
to know each others voices matters pro-
press rapidly. After they arrive at an
understanding the persevering lover has
tens to the padre. The kind priest, find
ing that there is no reason for objection
on either side. proceeds to intercede with
IL
tance to the dornicile Of his lady love. AS
soon as young man enters the house no
is considered as engaged to the daughter.
A wedding quickly follows and there is
no more ''playing the bear" so far as that
young man is concerned.-City Of Mexico

cbcan Books at Drv Goods storeR,

Walking along with E. r. Pelton, the
publisher Of The Eclectic Magazine, and
the agent of Lippincott's, inquired Of
him how it was that dry goods stores
could sell books SO much below regular
rates, as noticed in one store Grants
memoirs were marked at 1927 a volume,
and Chambers Encyclopedia and other
books for little over one-haf the adver-
tised retail price. Mr.. Pelton explained
this by saying that these big dry goods
stores ns rulo did not invest any money
in books. They sold them on commission,
often small enough to only cover the ex-
pense. Publishers and booksellers in
this way worked of surplus stock, or as
they cid not have to handle the goods
they could afford to take q very small
profit. Mr.. Pelton said that this had
seriously injured the retail book business,
which was now transacted on and 10
per cent. margins.-New York Tribune

An 1nyalitl,s Craving.

am sufferer from nervous dyspepsia.
T find from experience that when my
nerves are calm can digest almost any
thing that is well cooked and palatable,
and no one should eat what is not. once
read in French medical work an account
of young girl whose stomach utterly re-
fused to retain any food. She became i'm
pressed with the notion that raw onions
would agree with her, but the doctor, al
though he failed to understand the nature
Of the case, declined to crafty what he
considered mere whim. The result was
that the poor girl died Of starvation. An
examination of the body then revealed the
fact that substance resembling gristle
stopped the passage from the stomach to
the intestines. Recollecting the desire Of
the patient for raw onions, some were
sliced and placed upon the substance. In
twcnty-four hours it had entirely dis
solved. I believe in and practice giving
my patients what they crave, and merely
exercise judgment rs to quantity. I
could cite number of cases Of successful
treatment on this plan.--Herald of

THE VICTIMS OF oUlNlNE.
An Insidious Drug Which Enlivens but

An Insidious Drug Which Enllvcns but
Does Not Intoxicatc.
A young man with O pale face, close
clipped hair, graceful mustache, dexterous
white hands, and clad in the neatcst at
tire sauntered into o Fifth street drug
store yesterday forenoon and glanced at
that corner of the room where the
mineral water spigots were displayed.
Giles lily, but he's gone on the drug"
whispered clerk whose duty it didn't
chance to be to wait on him. "See, ne
don't even have to ask for what he
wants." continued tho clerk, as another
t'capsulc shooter nimbly trippcd up TO
the customer, produced jar OF pills,
poured out couple, and presented them
to the customer with q glass of mineral
water to furnish them transportation.
The customer swallowed the pills and
mineral water as though they had been
part of his daily food ever since the war.
They were evidently to him what the gin
and wormwood bracer is to the saloon
pet, and he bowed and smiled Oh the pro-
prietor IS he turned on his heel and dis
appeared. His shadow was still In sight
when thin, cadaverous looking man,
wearing unmistakable signs of lninstrelsy
"a plug hat that was not new and yards
of hair on tho edges of his coat-entered
the door. He was O stranger in the place
and he had to ask in his artless, burnt
cork way for quinine pills before the ac-
commodating clerk brought down the jar
of little pellets He took three, and, as
nm economic measure, undertook to make
away with them without the mineral
water accompaniment. They lodged, and
he began in o disturbed tone, as the clerk
was presenting his change:
s'Take out for glass"-
s'Yes, there is an increased demand for
quinine," said the clerk who had called
attention to the first customer. "It is
just like the drinking habit with men, the
demand gradually increases The GUS
toners for quininc are, in the main, pco-
pie who consider the use of Intoxicating
liquors terrible vice. They are people
Of frail physique, whom q few hours
work cxhausts. They discover that qui-
nine is an appetizer for them, and they
begin taking small doses of it. If four
grains brighten them up in the beginning,
it will take more than dozen grains to
produce the same effect in o year. Most
of them drop into drug shop lin the even-
ing, while on their way home to dinner,
and get dose of quininc pills proper
toned in size to the time they have been
slaves to the habit. 1t completely knocks
out q confirmed feeder on the insidious
drug to stop using it, and only few ever
make the attempt.
''The ladies, too, are quinine consum-
ers. More of them than you would ever
suspect drop in after tho matinee or after
they have made long and tiresome round
shopping to enliven themselves with the
seductive quinine pill. There are not
many ladies who are killing themselves
with the stuff, like many frail clerks and
business men are st. Louis Republican.
